A father-daughter road trip set in 1990s Poland, TREASURE follows Ruth (Dunham), an American music journalist, and her father, Edek (Fry), a charmingly stubborn Holocaust survivor, on a journey to his homeland. While Ruth is eager to make sense of her family's past, Edek embarks on the trip with his own agenda. This emotional, funny culture clash of two New Yorkers exploring post-socialist Poland is a powerful example of how reconnecting with family and the past can be an unexpected treasure.

Critics Consensus

While Stephen Fry and Lena Dunham provide some affecting moments as a father-daughter pair, Treasure's dramatic riches mostly remain buried.

3/5

Brett’s novel was praised for the delicacy with which it balanced the tragic and the ruefully sardonic in its discourse between the generations. In contrast, the film hammers home its every point.

1.5/4

Both leads are horribly miscast. Dunham drags out the same tired, unlikable character she’s been playing her entire career. This film often feels like an episode of “Girls” where Hannah Horvath goes to Lodz.

Neither Fry nor Dunham manage to disappear into their roles; and the film never really springs to life, plodding from moment to moment with leaden feet.

3/10

In order for a movie so hell-bent on succeeding as a tearjerker to actually convince its audience to snivel, it has to give them a reason to connect to its narrative first. Treasure never provides us with that opportunity.

No longer having to live up to media hype, Dunham has become a terrific actress.

Stunning film. Anyone with a heart must be touched by this beautiful father-daughter relationship. Made me think of my own experience with my dad and our trip back to China. Love Lena Dunham.

Treasure was a very nice film, old fashioned in the way it was just great film-making. The acting, the story, the setting was all very refreshing. It is a film that makes you laugh and also brings you to tears.

Treasure was a truly moving film, I loved the relationship between father and daughter and all the important subjects it explored in a very accessible way. Stephen Fry and Lena Dunham were both terrific.
